Abstract:
Presented are systems and methods for extracting lane-level information of designated road segments by mining vehicle dynamics data traces. A method for controlling operation of a motor vehicle includes: determining the vehicle's location; identifying a road segment corresponding to the vehicle's location; receiving road-level data associated with this road segment; determining a turning angle and centerline for the road segment; receiving vehicle data indicative of vehicle locations and dynamics for multiple vehicles travelling on the road segment; determining, from this vehicle data, trajectory data indicative of start points, end points, and centerline offset distances for these vehicles; identifying total driving lanes for the road segment by processing the trajectory data with a clustering algorithm given the turning angle and centerline; extracting virtual trajectories for the driving lanes; and commanding a vehicle subsystem to execute a control operation based on an extracted virtual trajectory for at least one driving lane.
